I think the Morrigan is supposed to be Badb, Macha and Nemain, but then it gets confused later on and you end up adding Fea and Annan and others. Irish mythology/genealogy is so confusing - you almost need a smartboard to figure it out. And even then you have to wade through interpretations and sources. But W. M. Hennessey's "The Ancient Irish Goddess of War," written in 1870, is a good paper on the whole thing, and you can get it here: http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/aigw/index.htm

That is one of the views. Some views also claim Brigit as a triple goddess. I know The Morrigan as a single goddess, that is why I stated these lists were based on my own and my families personal beliefs.JBRaven wrote:Isn't the Morrigan a triple goddess of crones? I only mention this because I have been working with Badb a lot lately.
Generally, most belief that Badbh, Fea and Nemon are the sister goddesses that make up The Morrigan.

From the little I have been able to find on her She seems to be a Triple Triple goddess 1) The Morrigan {Badbh, Fea and Nemon } 2) one of the eponymous Irish {Ériu, Banba and Fodla} 3} and the crone aspect of Brigit.
I am sorry if this is off topic but I have put these questions forth on this site many a year ago and NO ONE answered. You seem the only one who has any idea (minus jaelle just now.)
